Talk:Hoxsey treatment

Needs to be wikified. Has lots of good sources though.

Article needs editing for NPOV, not deletion
I object to the proposal to delete the article. The article just needs to be edited to eliminate POV language and provide orthodox medicine's view. Need a proponent of orthodox medicine to do this, however. The subject clearly is notable, as the media coverage of the Starchild Abraham Cherrix case shows. It would also be good to include links to an article (is there one?) detailing the many attempts by big pharm to criminalize the sale/use of herbal remedies and other natural therapies. --Smithfarm 17:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm copying the material to my talk page just in case it does get deleted. --Smithfarm 18:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion
You plagerized the entire file from http://www.tldp.com/issue/166/166hoxs.htm. You dont need to copy it to your talk page. Greroja 21:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Also if you spent the time you would realize that therapy and treatment in this case is the same thing. It should be deleted, it's not original research, its plagerism, and a duplication of an existing article. Greroja 21:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, at the very least, you're jumping to conclusions. Accusing a fellow editor of plagiarism is not something to be done lightly, Greroja. Think twice before you do that next time, OK? What happened is this: I read a news article on the Cherrix case that mentioned Cherrix was undergoing the Hoxsey treatment, so, being the curious type I am, I searched Wikipedia for "Hoxsey" and this page came up. I saw it was marked for deletion as original research and, believing that it did contain some original research mixed with valid information, I saved a copy to my user page to preserve the valid information. Then I moved the page to "Hoxsey treatment" as a better name. After that I found the Hoxsey Therapy page and proposed that this page be merged with it. All clear now? Let's be friends. --Smithfarm 06:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have deleted this article as a copyvio. For now, it will redirect to Hoxsey Therapy until someone can write a new article from scratch.  Thanks --  Aguerriero  ( talk ) 17:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't delete the article, as shown above. I merely stated the truth (That it was copied from a website). I posted this information for additional editors/admins to decide what to do. Smithfarm... it is not my intention to bother people or offend them. But just so we can be friends and clear on the issues...
 * 1 (...jumping to conclusions) - I listed the website where it was copied from, I didn't guess.
 * 2 (...accusing of plagerism) - It was plagerized (I don't know by which editor) and I honestly don't care
 * 3 (...merged with it) - I agree with you, it should be merged.
 * 4 (...all clear now) - Intentions really don't interest me, or the chain of events, all I can go by is what I see. The fact is that the information was plagerized.
 * 5 It is easy for people to read into written content about the intangibles... I am sure you are a good guy just doing what I am doing... wandering through Wikipedia updating and adding to the best of your ability.

Let's get back to work and fix these articles! Keep up the good work. :D Greroja 18:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
